Abstract:
Cochlear implantation (CI) can be safely performed in patients with syndromic hearing loss. Here we present a case of CI in a child with Klippel-Feil syndrome with various skeletal, extraskeletal, cochleovestibular and Arnold-Chiari malformations. Multidisciplinary approach and good preoperative imaging play a key role in planning for surgery.
